10 TV Shows That Accidentally Filmed Things You Weren't Supposed To See

7. John Types On A "Blog" That Is Actually Just A Still Image (Sherlock)

Sherlock Holmes and John Watson are one of the most intelligent duos in pop-culture, although if this moment is anything to go by, then John has got some serious learning to do when it comes to using his laptop.

In the opening scenes of the Series 4 premiere, Sherlock, John, and Mary are hanging out at 221B Baker Street, where John is updating his personal blog. We're shown a very clear shot of John typing up his latest post, but something we weren't supposed to see is the fact that his "blog" is actually just a still JPEG image, as evidenced by the heading "JOHN BLOG PAGE.jpg" in the top-left corner of the screen.

It's another example of the fake typing we see in so many movies and TV shows, made even more hilarious by the fact that actor Martin Freeman is literally just mashing keys in the Windows Photo app. At least he tried.
